So my right elbow has developed a bubble of fluid?? on it. After some online research I believe it to be Bursitis.... Has anyone ever had experience with this before.
It doesnt hurt, its not bruised, the skin is not broken..
The only thing that I can come up with for a cause is that I lean on that elbow in the arm rest a lot... And I haven't bumped or wacked it recently that I know of.

I got bursitis on my right knee.
I spent 8.5 years as a bus mechanic, and if I had to kneel down on the concrete floor for anything, I tend to go on my right knee because my right hip is bad, so I use my left leg to get back up.
It doesn't hurt at all, but my wife got concerned and told me to ask the doc. The doc said, "That's bursitis, it may or may not go away, the pressure on your knee, over time, caused it, and if it doesn't hurt we leave it alone."
Hope this helps.
You are not alone!
I quit using my armrests because my arms were getting achey, then I read somwhere that the road vibration transferred to the seat MAY cause that. My arms feel less achey now.Cattleman84, Oxbow, tramm01 and 1 other person Thank this. -
Looks like baker’s elbow to me. Just stop putting pressure on it for about a month should go away.

Might be a good idea to have it looked at. I lost a brother-in-law to cancer that started as a lump on his arm that he never had checked...
Not trying to scare you, but...
His was a lump under his bicep that didn't bother him so he ignored it but turned out to be a tumor that eventually spread.
I have another brother-in-law who is battling cancer to this day. A few years ago he had a lump on his forearm that had to be chopped out because it was cancerous

Baker's cyst is sorta like a hernia where a pouch with fluid gets out through a barrier it's not supposed to go through. it's not painful, and I didn't even notice mine until I got a physical (mine's behind the knee). Bursitis is more like tennis elbow where the fluid inside or outside the joint gets inflamed. It's usually painful, and it can cause infection inside the joint and ruin the joint in the process.
Maybe a baker's cyst, maybe bursitis, maybe a hematoma,
Have it looked at. Ain't nobody on here that even stayed at a Holiday Inn last night.....spindrift, 91B20H8, LoSt_AgAiN and 5 others Thank this. -
